MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR MOWER

1. When using your mower for the first time, choose a
smooth level area and cut in straight and slightly
overlapping strips.
2. The size and type of the area to be mowed will
determine the proper mowing pattern. Take into
account obstructions, such as trees, fences and
buildings. To keep grass clippings off fences,
sidewalks, etc., it is advisable to go over the outside of
the area to be mowed several times in a clockwise
direction. To mow the area remaining, work in a
counterclockwise direction so the clippings are
dispersed onto the previously cut area.
3. Always keep the left side of the mower toward trees,
posts or other obstacles on the first trip around the
obstacle.
4. Most lawns should be mowed to keep the grass
approximately 50 to 80 mm high. Best results are
obtained by cutting often and not too short. To keep a
green lawn, never mow more than one third of the
height of the grass or a maximum of 25 mm in one
mowing.
For extremely tall grass, set the cutting height at
maximum for the first mowing, then reset to the
desired height and mow again. Allow the grass to grow
to 80 mm, then cut off only the top growth.
5. On thick or springy grass or soft ground, the mower
rollers may sink into the ground, resulting in the cut
being too low.
Adjust the cutting height to get the desired height of
cut.
6. For best appearance, grass should be cut in the
afternoon or evening when it is free of moisture.

CUTTING HEIGHT

To avoid serious injury or death:
A Never operate the mower in transport position.
1. To set the cutting height, move the hydraulic control
lever rearward to raise the mower to the highest
position. Turn the cutting height control dial to adjust
height.
2. Set the anti-scalp rollers' height as shown to keep
clearance between rollers and ground from 6 to 13
mm.
3. Lower the mower deck by moving the hydraulic control
lever forward.
4. Use the higher settings for mowing in a rough area or
when mowing tall grass. Lower settings should be
used only for smooth lawns where short grass is
desired.
